*I've been writing a daily article here since September 1, 2020; that's over 800 articles. I haven't missed a day yet, and that includes [Christmas and Easter](https://nolongerset.com/tag/holiday/). Well, I'm taking my first family vacation since I started writing this blog. Our only other family vacation (which predates the blog) was a National Lampoon's-style disaster. I hope this one is going better.*

*I'm writing this in the *present* tense, but I'm writing it for *future* publication with links to *past* articles. Let's hope the time-space continuum holds up.*

*In any case, as the slacker Firstie says to the Stony Lonesome Gate guard twenty minutes before Taps, let me get to the Point. I've got a daily publishing streak to keep up. But I don't want to be writing and publishing articles on vacation. And I still want to provide you with something of value to read each day. So I settled on creating a series of curated article lists that I think you'll find beneficial.*

*I'm hoping at least some of these articles are ones you haven't read before. And if you're so obsessed with me that you *have* read all my articles, I'm hoping that they'll keep you busy enough that you don't come looking for me and my family 😳.* 

*Enjoy!*
